Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company Building
The Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company Building is a historic commercial building at 116 West 6th Avenue in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It is a single story masonry structure with distinctive Moderne styling. Its most prominent feature is the parapet, which was Art Deco-style blue flame-shaped finials at the ends of the central raised section. Its walls include blocks of colored and clear glass, and tile elements. It was built in 1950, during a building boom that followed the end of World War II, and is the best local example of this type of architecture.[2]
